    <p>No matter how well an application is designed and developed, problems will inevitably occur. When they do, it is important to have some techniques for diagnosing those problems. When using the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver, some common problems that can occur are not having the right driver version or being unable to connect to a database.  </p>
    <p>The topics in this section discuss a number of techniques for diagnosing these and other problems including error handling, checking the driver version, tracing, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.</p>
